Heys peoples

I am getting new wheels and tires in the spring. Right now I am getting either the Shelby Razors in the gun metal or the American Racing Razors in chrome. Both in 18x9 with 255/45 on the front and 285/40 on the rear. What do you guys think give your opinions. Can someone photochop the chrome and the gun metal so I can compare the 2 of them

Thanks

I like the razors, i'm torn between those or the rebels for my car. But why are you getting same sized rims with different sized tires? you won't be able to rotate them which defeats the purpose of getting all of the rims 18x9. if you want the meats out back you should get a wider rim like an 18x10 for the back or keep the 18x9's and run 255 all around. the wide tires will fit the wide rim better and wear better also.

get 275/xx/xx all around instead of buying mismatching tire sizes. i dont understand why people do that just so it looks a thumbnail wider. alot of times you lose the option of tire rotation without having to break them down.

So is there that much difference between the 285 and 255. I like the staggered look. Does anybody know if I can go wider on the back say a 305. I am not sure how this works for the 2005 stang I see the older stangs put 315's on.

Thanks

Take it from someone that put up with it, get the same size all around if they arent deepdishes. Its a waste of money.

That or drag radials. Hell even if they are drag radials get the same size. You wont be able to tell a difference.
